The Criteria of High-Net Worth Individuals for Buying Property

Typically when asked, a real estate agent will state that the most important factors for buyers purchasing real estate are the proximity to schools and transport links.

Well, a recent survey* of high-net-worth individuals completely opposes such a view.

In fact, of 14 factors, proximity to schools and transport links were 14th and 12th respectively. Proximity to place of work is also well down the list, a factor which for such individuals matters increasingly less given the global nature of their work and the technology that enables this.
